Christopher T. Froelich

I'm not a spiteful person but I don't want anyone else to go through what I did. I hired Chris as my divorce attorney. Initially, he was very nice and had me convinced he could help. As time went on, the divorce became more complicated and it became very apparent he wanted to do as little work as pos...sible. Follow up was non-existent and I had to contact the office constantly for updates. Chris didn't work on my behalf, I wasn't given the help I needed (and paid for). When my x's attorney contacted his office with an unreasonable request, all I received was the forwarded message from the other attorney's office asking for a response. When I reviewed documents, I was the one who made recommendations for changes, not him. When the divorce was final, my x was in contempt of the divorce settlement. I reached out to Chris for help and received nothing. I had to hire a different attorney (who did a fantastic job). Please please do yourself a favor and do not hire him!

Chris did an absolute amazing job, I was looking at 120 days in jail and the possibility of losing my career, he told me exactly what to do in order to save my career. In the end he got me the minimum sentence and saved my career. He is veteran friendly and will go above and beyond to help you in you...r case. I would highly recommend him to anyone.

DO NOT HIRE!! I’m a professional automotive consultant who does not live in Green Bay. I got a warning for speeding on i43 going 79mph & as a result got charged with 2nd OWI blowing .101 on officer’s breathalyzer. I was not belligerent or swerving in the least bit. My only infraction should have been... speeding. I blew .08 when I arrived to the jail shortly after blood draw. I kept insisting on performing my own evaluation as mentioned in the consent form which was read to me by the police officer. I asked countless times how I was to go about performing my own evaluation because I’ve been blatantly false accused by other police departments in the past. I ultimately agreed to have my blood drawn with the understanding that I’d be able to get my own evaluation once released & that my license would remain valid. Ironic how sure enough, conveniently for them, the BAC results came back at .102 which bumped me up to the next level of severity on charges. When I asked Chris about performing my own evaluation on the first visit to his office he replied “no one’s ever done that” instead of informing me of the proper processes & procedures. There was minimal effort on Chris’ behalf throughout the entire process. Right away he set false expectations in regards to helping me w/ not losing my license since it’s essential for my career. He sent the initial administrative review letter to DMV which I appreciated. However, he absolutely dropped the ball when it got to the 2nd step in the process which involved submitting a judicial review through GB court system within a certain time period which HE NEVER DID!!! Multiple emails were ignored & I barely received follow up (if any) throughout my whole experience. I had to insist many times for a simple call back in regards to my questions. He then set false expectations AGAIN on our last appointment before my hearing making me plead no-contest since he’d be asking for 5 days opposed to 25 days in jail, a transfer to my county, & the possibility of getting gps bracelet for a fee which all sounded reasonable. When it came down to it, he asked for 15 days instead of the 5 days which we had discussed prior to hearing. He didn’t even mention transfer to my county where I’ve worked for 5 years & recently purchased my first home at. In the end I got 20 days in brown county jail, 13 months suspended license, 13 months interlock, assessment classes, and I don’t even know how many more fee’s that are yet to come as a result of his weak statements & poor consulting. After my hearing, he’s only responded to one email w/ a phone number to Brown County jail & Huber office. No initiative on Froelich’s behalf whatsoever. He has ignored me since in regards to helping me at least transfer to my county. Again, I don’t live in Green Bay.. it’s not easy for me to make a trip to get necessary paperwork which was the whole reason as to why I hired a lawyer. I hired him in the hopes that he’d help me thoroughly since I was appointed a public defender my first OWI for a .07 at the age of 20 when I got stuck in snow & could not afford a reputable lawyer at the time. I would have been better off representing myself. Complete waste of money.

Initially when we met him he seemed very kind and like he really cared but as we got farther along in our case (mind you this was many changed court dates, us doing a majority of the leg work and many calls to his office and cell...just trying to get ahold of him most of the time) it got worse and wo...rse as far as him not returning phone calls, getting paperwork to us that he stated he would and one of the few times that I recall he did call me back it was at 10:30 at night which is absolutely unprofessional and unacceptable!! And when it came time to his closing argument on final day of court that was a joke!! I have never been to any schooling for Law and I could have given a better closing statement than he did that day and because of that it costed me and my family a lot of grief and heartache:( Below is a message he sent me that had me in tears!! "I can't get ahold of you, I tried and l left message....I gotta Move on! Too busy to do anything else for you, case closed." (This is the text message he sent me after trying to call me at 10:30 at night, when I was already asleep!) Steer clear of this attorney and please for you and your family's sake find a different attorney who will devote his full attention to you and your case, it's you and your family's future at stake!!!!!!! If I could have filled in only a quarter of the star that's what I would have done but one star was the lowest I could go on site!
